Four W3 professorships in philosophy (one in theoretical philosophy), Heidelberg (Germany)

As part of the reorganization of the Philosophy Department of the University of Heidelberg, the Department and the Philosophical Faculty invite applications for four professorships (W3) in Philosophy (f/m/d). The respective professorships have the following areas of specialization: (i) ancient (or ancient/medieval) philosophy, (ii) classical German philosophy, (iii) theoretical philosophy, and (iv) practical philosophy. Each professorship has a junior position attached and participates equally in the resources of the department.

It is expected that future position holders will represent the field of philosophy in research and teaching. The tasks include student-needs based course offerings in the entire area of specialization covered by the position and giving examinations in existing B.A. and M.A. course of studies as well as in the Master of Education. The successful candidates should have experience in acquiring grant funding and be prepared to participate in interdisciplinary research in existing and future networks and to contribute to the development of new joint projects. Willingness to engage in department administration is also expected.
